Vision and Perception

Learn the latest research on what grabs and holds attention and how people process information from their senses

About This Course

All the information we take in from the world around us comes from our five senses. But we don't just perceive the world. Our brain interprets it as the data arrives through vision, hearing, smell, touch, and taste. In this course you will learn how people perceive and interpret the world, with special emphasis in the course on vision, what grabs and holds human attention, and the relationship between our sense data, our beliefs, and our decisions.

Some examples of what's in the course:

What grabs our attention visually and why

The difference between central and peripheral vision

How our senses are related to each other

The neuroplasticity of sense data in the brain

and much, much more!

You have unlimited access to all the lessons 24 hours a day, for as long as you want or need them, so you can take the course at your own pace and go back to review any materials any time you want. All of our courses have quizzes, as well as exercises that you can send in for feedback from Dr. Susan Weinschenk.
